Puppy Prom Ready to Go

People either have much too much time on their hands, or they need to find a new hobby. On June 22 you, too, can be part of the Puppy Prom happening at The Lofts. This is at 177 Prince Street and tickets are $40. Now, what’s a Puppy Prom, you might ask?

This is an event where 100 dogs get dolled up in the hopes of being named King and Queen. And yes, people design gowns and tuxedos for the dogs, as Roberto Negrin, the founder of Hec-Lin Couture for Dogs explains, “They get hair extensions, paint the toenails, even put on false eyelashes.”

Last year, the event was held at a car dealership. This year, they are adding to the excitement by placing it at The Lofts at Prince. People will be selling treats and dog products. There will also be a raffle and prizes for the best dressed dogs and the best look-alikes.

Close to 100 people have already RSVP’d that they are coming with their dogs.
